Well it has been roller coaster year to say the least. The good news for the US Soaring Team is that the 36th WGC in Montlucon-Gueret scheduled for August 2021 is going forward. All the news from the organizers is that France will open up at the end of June. Local friends in Montlucon say that restaurants and local businesses are opening up and business is good.
The US Soaring Team has been holding bi-weekly Zoom meetings with ever increasing enthusiasm for a great contest. I just received an email from the Contest Manager Béatrice de Reynal confirming that the previously cancelled International Night is back on. This night is always the highlight of the social side if a WGC. https://www.wgc2021.fr/
We are sending six pilots. Sarah Arnold and Tom Holloran in Standard Class, Daniel Sazhin and JP Stewart in Club Class and Sean Murphy and Tim Taylor in 15M.
Please keep an eye on our team page here and on social media for regular updates on our preparations and contest flying.
